ARTIE LANGE MISSES COURT DATE, LANDS IN JAIL

Artie Lange is sitting in a NJ jail again, but it’s not for drugs this time — it’s for missing a court date … about a drug arrest.

Cops busted the comedian Tuesday evening at his home in Hoboken, NJ for failing to appear in Essex County court. He was supposed to face charges of heroin possession and drug paraphernalia from his arrest in May.

Artie took quite the mug shot this time around — still rocking what looks like a busted, or infected, nose. He’d posted a pic over the weekend where it looked like he’d been punched in the face, with a cryptic message about fearing nothing.

He’s still sitting in jail, waiting to see the judge.

This is not the first time this year the troubled comedian has had problems. Artie has had medical problems and was busted buying drugs earlier this year.

I hope Artie gets his act together, but at this point I think its a lost cause……
